Carrying on with the Bold Gorgeous Fun here in the studio at Gaia Magick Photography. Another month into 2015 already? This year is going to fly by. I’m not sure why I thought classy hollywood film noir images and male head shots would go together to make an epic blog post, but they work. Maybe because they are both sophisticated; one hits you over the head with it, and the other just flirts with it.

I met this gorgeous doll during National Novel Writing Month, and we were instant friends. I adore her! She’s a single mom, working at a local pub by day, writes by night and is a published author, eeeek! Seriously, I am so happy we became friends, she inspires me. Chris came into the studio with her daughter, who wants to be a make-up artist, for an afternoon of make up play and lessons. Well, I couldn’t let her leave the studio all glammed up without taking some pictures, and I haven’t shot any noir in a while so Chris indulged me and this is what we created. Bold and Fabulous!

I know there is a term thrown around for male boudoir images (dudoir anybody?!), so can I create my own genre of male glamour and call it Man-Glam? Probably wont catch on, but that’s ok. Last fall a friend of mine came to me asking if I could help him with some profile images for dating sites and his Facebook page. He was getting tired of the crappy selfies and video game pictures, and wanted something a little more professional looking. I don’t often photograph men, so I jumped at the challenge. And I think I did a pretty good job! (and now I have Sexy and I Know It playing in my head, sheesh!)
